SONXTRONIC XDR-1000 Premium Fashion Earbud Headphones Microphone Dark Shade of Grey

The short answer is - for the price these are a definite buy.COMFORTI've worn these for 6 hours at a time and have never felt fatigued. In fact, you almost forget that you are wearing them. I find these to be extremely comfortable. I also found that the cable does not produce microphonic sounds when rubbing against your shirt/collar. So, big win here!SOUNDI own lots of headphones and earbuds, some are audiophile quality. These are surprisingly good in many areas. They have great sounding bass (clear, balanced, with thump), smooth mids and to a point - good highs (slightly better than Symphonized which I also tried), however required some EQing to balance out the sound. The one area of weakness would be how clean the highs are. They are somewhat attenuated, so they aren't harsh or fatiguing however they don't sound as good as $300 headphones (and I wouldn't have expected that). Overall - I am pleased with teh sound of these.MICROPHONEI've tested it with a few phone calls and the person on the other end reports that I sound clean and clear.DURABILITYI haven't had these long enough to speak to durability. The construction seems solid and there are no noticeable weak spots in the design. With most earbuds, the cabling junctions are the first point of failure and I don't think that these are any better or any worse than others that I have owned.CONCLUSIONI was on the market for a comfortable set of earbuds with a microphone that replaces the stock Samsung earbuds for my phone. I want to be able to wear these when travelling, doing yard work, etc. - so I didn't want to pay a lot for them. These were the clear winner at their price point. You could pay anywhere from 2X to 10X as much and get only nominally better sound quality and the overall comfort is excellent!

When I bought these I thought I was really in for a steal, but as I came to use them, I realized the reviews lied. I paid $25 for these, and the range was pitiful. As with many earphones with silicon tips, the bass is decent, but is only really effective when loosely fastened to the ear. The second problem I noticed was the high range. Pretty much if you listen to any music with a higher range-- rock with symbols, rap with instrumentals, don't even try these with metal or alternative-- then you're gonna have a bad time. Also, the website of these headphones claims for these to be running headphones, but like many in their category, they fall out easily. THESE AREN'T NICE HEADPHONES BUT ALSO ARENT HORRIBLE. So for the person looking for a run of the mill disappointment, these are your boys, but if you want a good headphone, keep looking.

Even after reading the reviews, I really didn't expect much from these headphones. After having used Creative Headphones for the last few years I must admit that I've grown rather spoiled in what I expect. Studio quality is not at issue here, anyone who expects that kind of quality from in ear headsets, well, I really don't know what to say about them or their expectations. What I Do expect is reasonably well represented sound across the entire spectrum. Creative delivers exactly that, and so do these.Compared to my last couple of Creative earphones, these are a bit lacking, (read: slightly more muddy than I am used to), in the Mids and Vocals but I Equalize my music in an editing program and that more than makes up for any lack. The highs are actually better than I expected from a headset that is advertised to give "Powerful Extra-Deep Base," the buds themselves are extremely comfortable, and the no-tangle cord is excellent. The Base response is just brilliant. Most of my music is base-heavy and on some songs, I can feel the base in my eardrums, [yeah, yeah, I know I shouldn't listen at that volume but sometimes it just has to be done:^)].It remains to be seen how long these last but they seem to be fairly well constructed so I expect to get at least 6 months, if not more, out of them. At the present price point, even if they only last for those 6 months, this is a definite win.Edit: 04 January 2017. Well, sadly, this headset didn't ring in the New Year in working order. The Right Bud died in the week before Christmas. There is an open, (probably a broken wire), in the cable just above the plug. I will say this: I didn't realize exactly how good these headphones were until they broke and I had to fall back to my backup set. As much as I love these, I have to downgrade them to two stars because they didn't even last 6 months. Manufacturer, PLEASE look into the QC problem with these headphones. When they work they are fantastic. They just don't work long enough to make them worth the money paid.

Amazing earphones that provide great sound quality and very nice bass. For just 15 bucks, it matches the sound quality of 50 dollar earphones/headphones. The only downside is the placement of the R and L symbols on each earbud, makes it kinda awkward.

Update: March 20thI received a package with two new pairs of headphones because the other ones broke. They have an excellent warranty and customer service.Got them in January 16th, and now March 2nd they are broken. I think it is the mic. It keeps bringing Siri up and stopping my music randomly. I gave it another star because the sound is amazing when it does work.

These headphones are shiny and the design is nice. They are pretty loud and the time between hitting the pause button and your music stopping is nice and short. These could be improved by adding volume buttons, however for the price they were good quality.
